Chargers 32, Broncos 3. We all agree that it sure would be nice to give out a Game Ball award again. Let the record show that Sunday was a stinkfest all around. Even the studs stank a little bit. Caveats abound. Dud: Mike Nolan As I outlined earlier, the defense’s inability to get after Philip […]

Frank Schwab looks at why Peyton Hillis isn’t seeing the field and his healthy scratch Sunday.  [CS Gazette] Show some love people!  We’re 6-3 not 3-6.  [In Denver Times] The NY Giants have filed a formal complaint about having to travel to Denver on Thanksgiving making it a short week.  [DPO] I hate it when […]

More weekly goodness from the gracious Broncos PR guys. View the full release here. The Denver Broncos (6-3) and San Diego Chargers (6-3) will meet for the 100th time on Sunday with the winner moving into sole possession of first place in the AFC West. Kickoff at INVESCO Field at Mile High is set for […]

Broncos 17 – Redskins 27.  Who ya got, gentlemen? Dud: Chris Simms. The Broncos could very well be 7-2 had Kyle Orton not been absent from the second half with an ankle injury. Simms looked like a rookie out on the field, completing only several passes for miniscule yardage. Broncos fans better pray that Orton […]

Jeff Legwold says the Broncos haven’t given up on the zone blocking scheme.  Think situational hybrid.  [DPO] Mike Shanahan has been inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame along with Joe Sakic.  [KDVR.com] Hochstein isn’t the only guard being promoted to first string for the game on Sunday.  [Washington Post] Jim Zorn tells the […]

This isn’t about statistics. Peyton Hillis didn’t tabulate very many while the Denver Broncos were 6-0, but that didn’t matter, because the Broncos were winning. This isn’t about favoritism. It’s true that Hillis became extremely popular after he was thrust into the starting lineup in 2008, but winning trumps all. It’s only after the offense […]

Broncos 10, Steelers 28. Alright, gentlemen, who ya got? Dud: Coaching Staff/Inability to make the right half-time adjustments What concerned me the most out of this game was not Ben Hamilton’s continued struggles, or Kyle Orton’s under-pressure interceptions or even our lack of a running game… It was the stark difference between our half-time adjustments […]

We know some of you are fans of Football Outsiders, as are we, so we’ll be taking a look at the smarter stats behind the Broncos‘ opponent each week to gain some perspective on what to expect — an Outsider’s Perspective. Insanely quick DVOA 101: Recall that on offense and special teams, the higher the […]

My power rankings are fittingly named the ‘Tentative Ten’ because every week it’s subject to change, and erratically at that. Also featured is a Rookie, Defensive, and Offensive Player of the Year Watch, and a Coach of the Year Watch, and Movie to watch this week. 1. New Orleans Saints (7-0) Sorry rookie Jairus Byrd, […]

What’s up BT Family? How does it feel to be 6 & wonderfully pathetic? (The Broncos are officially 6-1 when I watch the game with a high anxiety level/pessimistic outlook/tons of sighs) WE WERE BLOWN OUT. Period. I guess I missed the press release stating the Broncos would be dressing up as the Browns for […]
